Worst bands ever

[Sinister Intents]

In your opinion what would you say the worst bands and music groups are?

I'd have to say Blink 182 or whatever they're called are absolute shit. Asking Alexandria, We Came As Romans and such bands are trash, the vast majority of deathcore like Carnifex sucks. I hate Motley Crue!

[Rosa Partizan]

most emo-and metalcore-bullshit, like bullet for my valentine, my chemical romance and stuff.

sum 41 are a great load of bullshit, too.

sorry in case I offend anyone, but manowar suck big time.

yeah I'll come back to this thread again.

[Rosa Partizan]

and all this goddamn indie "the"-bands, goddamn I hate them so much. especially the killers with this goddamn annoying song "somebody told me" that you hear at EVERY fucking student's party. that's why I don't go there anymore, fucking douchebag suckers.

I agree with all of this. What kinds of metal are you into if any?

[Rosa Partizan]

I don't listen to thaaat much metal, but from time to time, I enjoy Entombed, Nihilist, Napalm Death, Darkthrone, Crowbar, Nile...especially Death and Black Metal in general.

i'll second 'the -whatever-', those bands almost always suck, it'd be a universal constant if it weren't for The Fall and The Housemartins :P

Dream Theater are without a DOUBT one of the most wretchedly boring and awful bands I've ever heard live, the only place they suck more than on the stage is in the studio

Edguy are the nadir of power metal, itself the nadir of metal with a very few exceptions

Oh dear. Guess I have bad taste in music judging by this thread. :o

I like some of the stuff that Blink 182 did, some of the stuff by Sum 41... but that's mostly nostalgia because they were cool when I was growing up.

The Clash, on the other hand, have some decent songs.

Brokencyde.

Just.....just Brokencyde.

Seriously...imagine everything that is vapid and terrible about modern pop culture and concentrate it into one band. That's Brokencyde.

Look for yourself:

N8F5YSA1Oz0

As for others....I'd say a lot of the nu-metal/rapcore shit that was fucking everywhere in the late 90s/early 00s. That whole genre pretty much died a quick death, and right so in my opinion.

Honestly, the only modern band I listen to now is Coheed and Cambria.

(And for the record, I LIKED My Chemical Romance)

[#FF0000]

I remember when there used to be good post-hardcore bands.

Also I hate this new alt-folk/apple store indie stuff. Just start clapping over a boring four-on-the-floor beat and wail WOAHHH OH OH OH and you too can be the next Mumford And Sons/Fun.

It's literally the lamest thing. Like, cargo shorts and sandals and dave matthews band t shirt levels of suffocating lameness.

[Ele'ill]

I actually can't think of any bands but there are def. songs. Knickleback is terrible. I used to not be able to stand Counting Crows but I like one of their songs now, one. Oh shit, #FF0000 just posted about Fun, hate them.

[Ele'ill]

U2, I had to make a separate post about them. The level of hate I have can't involve editing some post

That alone should get you not only banned but deported!

....and then banned again.

[Il Medico]

Anyone who says The Clash sucks should be immediately shipped off to OI. That is counter revolutionary thinking of the most extreme degree.

As for the 'the+blank' rule of suckage, poppy cock. Oldies alone prove you wrong (the beach boys, the rolling stones, the Beatles, etc.) and then you got band like The Decemberist, The Psychedelic Furs, The Flamming Lips, The Concretes, The Sex Pistols, The Undertones, The Queers, The Pogues...I really could go on. My point is you're a damned daff bastard if you think all 'the' bands are shit.

As for bands I think suck ass, most metal and country in general, can't stand that shit. Also, just because they're are super mediocre bands my 20 year old roommate loves with a fiery passion (and thus blast them through the house all the time) I've really come to loathe Airborne Toxic Event and The Violent Femmes.

P.S
Green Day can go straight to fucking hell.

[#FF0000]

The Pixies

AHEM it's just "Pixies", actually

[Naroc]

If there's any band from which i can say i hate it ... it's definitely Limp Bizkit. Argh... i don't even find words to describe why!

[Jimmie Higgins]

Hmm... yeah the late 90s were just a terrible time for music - made worse by IMO some of the best music of my lifetime being released in the early 90s (well in hip hop and rock anyway).

So... Nickleback, Bizkit, sum 41, blink 192, all that southern cal pop-punk ska shit, I hated early Green Day but the pop-punk that followed (and the Green Day music that followed) made those early things sound almost listenable in retrospect, Creed, 3 doors Down, Matchbox whatever, Dave Mathews Band... all are terrible. They were so terrible that I thought the bands were jokes at first and then realized people were actually listening to it.

I don't really understand the appeal of Jay-Z, he can turn a phrase, but I find him boring. I don't know if I actually like Kanye, but I do enjoy the experience of listening to him at his most huburistic - it's sort of unhindged and exciting when someone does something as off the wall as envoking MLK and slave rebellions in songs about having sex.

Animal Collective and all that. Terrible. Jam Bands also suck - Phish? More like Phshit.

Most bands from Brooklyn these days, most bands that Pitchfork raves about that are from Brooklyn anyway. What a strange legacy of music for that place - it's like East Cost hip-hop got gentrified by bands of bearded white dudes with trustfunds, washboards and jugs and banjos and shit.

There were some good and interesting bands in the 80s, but most of what is called "80s music" is terrible. If it's not Prince or Talking Heads or some underground or punk band, then I'm probably not interested.

Metal sucks as a general rule. Pink Floyd are music's novocane. Radiohead. Ha, ha, see how I slipped these ones in:lol:

I'm embarassed to say as a Leftist that I like the Clash a whole lot. It's embarassing because I sort of feel like culturally in the US it's like: welcome to the Left, here's your copy of Capital Vol 1 and the Clash discography. But, it's hard not to like them IMO because they covered a lot of musical ground and so even if I don't like certain songs or even types of songs they did, there's 3 other (punk-tinted) genres in the next 3 songs.

The current folk-tinged rock... I'm sorta divided on. I didn't like the freak-folk thing (too boring and sleepy and it felt pretensious to me), I don't like Mumford and Sons, but I do like Woods and Kurt Vile and some of the more lo-fi psych-folk that's been coming out. They have to have a good balance for it to work IMO - poppy enough, exciting enough, not too precious or clean and boring. She and Him are not interesting at all.

[Sasha]

motley crue just tried to hard...

[BIXX]

I just liked motley Crue's show better. Kiss has better music.

The British bands name was two words that began with an s and a t respectively, that's all I remember.

[Sasha]

I can imagine, yet still, motley crue is like that kid that without asking kid that downs a full bottle of your best whisky and throws your new TV you worked your ass off for out your window trying to impress you... The kid who after you sorted out some asshole picks a fight too but then chooses to pick on a hellsangel.

Same here. I've never understood the hate for those bands because they always seemed like they were just about having fun... I dunno. Sometimes I just feel really pop punk nostalgic and have to go listen to those. Actually, when I think about it my enjoyment of pop punk is like 50% nostalgia, 30% irony, and 20% actual enjoyment. I think part of it has to do with how my boyfriend started playing pop punk when I'm driving to annoy me and because pop punk is inherently funny but I think both of us are slowly starting to genuinely enjoy it underneath all the irony.

[Rugged Collectivist]

my chemical romance

Shut up you're dumb.

This question is harder than I thought it would be. I tend to ignore the stuff I don't like so I can't think of many specific examples besides the obvious stuff like Nickleback and Creed. I never really liked kiss and I assume everyone who does is doing it ironically. Here are some other examples.

Taylor Swift - lame pop country bullshit. I'm glad Kanye West interrupted her.

Hopsin - corny, raps about the illuminati.

James Blunt - *shudder*

I guess that's it for now.

[#FF0000]

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

Justin Bieber is pretty fucking terrible.

I also find (and i'm generalising here because I don't listen intently enough to know all the bands'/artists' names) a lot of modern pop-dance music absolute rubbish. The sort of stuff that is played in superclubs' main rooms that everyone after a dozen drinks thinks has 'sick bass' or a 'sexy vibe', when it doesn't, it is just formulaic crap - turn up the bass to excess, some generic lyrics about working hard then partying on the weekend/b**ches/h**s, and having some awful, sexist choreography.

Which makes me glad i've come across Lorde. That's what pop music should sound like. She's great :)

The Beatles

No I'm not being edgy. I give the white album my "most overrated album of all time" award. If it wasn't for all the stupid fake hype that was drummed up around them, they never would have been nearly as popular as they were. The songs are incredibly drab and usually very simple. It's just the same stupid love song over and over and over again.

The Beatles are a perfect example of the "music as a product, not as an art form" bullshit that practically defines pop as a genre.

Cannibal Corpse. They're fans are like the worst version of hipsters, you're not edgy and grim just because you listen to that boringly repetitive, tasteless shit. All the songs are the same, just different gruesome titles. A lot of technical death metal stuff in general, just formulaic over-produced shit void of any substance.

Pussy Cat Dolls...yeah...them.

Justin Bieber. There once was somebody who argued that people should have the right to post natal abortion up until one year after birth. I think Bieber is the justification to extend that to 20 years.


Evanescence...which ironically and luckily completely faded away. They finished their process I guess.

[L.A.P.]

Papa Roach, Disturbed, Stone Temple Pilots, Aerosmith, Avenged Sevenfold



I feel like Bieber is too easy of a target. I remember there was some revleft users admitting they actually liked some of Bieber's songs. Makes me think of how hipsterism can move in a circle, sometimes a commercial artist gets bashed on by other hipsters and the like so much, that it becomes "hip" to actually like them. Lol

Papa Roach

It funny, Papa Roach is the one band I absolutely hated when they came out (no suprise as i was already to old and punk for them then) but grew, since working in a concert hall to like. Not even so much their music which kind of still sucks but they are such nice guys, they play my vennue about every years and every year less people come yet I have never seen them not giving 200%, even when they came straight from the airplane and it was like 6 in the morning for them they where completely giving it. And they always come in person to check how the crowd was, if fans get injured they make a chat, they always give free merch to the crew etc etc. Just really nice guys.

There are more artists I came to appreciate after meeting them IRL, working for them like Robbie williams, the transvestite who won the EU vision song festival last night (im sincerely happy for them), Sebastian Bach (ex singer skidrow), lady Gaga and much more.

On the other hand there are bands that i liked musically that I now hate through their behavior towards the working crew and/or their fans, most notably Social Distortion, what a bunch of cokesniffing, groupie abusing assholes.

I think the "post-hardcore" label can go two ways. Either it's noisey-experimental hardcore that was initially characteristic of the genre, or the more recently mainstream scene-kid pop that's associated with melodic metalcore and screamo.

I get what you mean about a lot of tech death tho, that plastic, ultra-mechanical style can be great in the right hands but so many of them are just making the most boring shit imaginable (what I like to call the Dream Theater effect)


and cannibal corpse are awesome even if they basically haven't deviated at all from their formula in like 25 years. Come at me

I have no words. You must just hate music.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.

P. much why I ultimately agree with the resentful sentiment towards The Beatles. They're so undeserving of all the praise they receive. I mean, Love and The Zombies were part of that scene and they were miles better. Reminds me of Kafka's novella about the mouse people (forget the exact title); the local singer that's adored by the community isn't as good as much as she fills in an empty space. Going by the logic of the article, even hip-hop is a more serious art form, cause Illmatic def. wasn't a chart-topper and people are just now catching up to Madvillainy (probably the greatest of the 2000s).

That article is the kind of self-important shite you often get from aficionados of Jazz. If we took its aesthetic seriously, we'd have rank virtuosity as the defining value of all music. We'd have to say that Emerson Lake & Palmer had more value than, say, The Stooges. It would mean that we would have to disregard the primitive, the amateur, the authentic impulse of much music that doesn't correspond to the flatulent author's notion of "high art". Well, he can fuck off.

Moreover, the way he reduces critical appraisal of the Beatles to their "market share" only betrays his own ignorance of rock music and its cultural significance to the Sixties, as well as the rock criticism he is so disdainful
of.

What the writer fails to recognise is that pop and rock is at its best, its most vital when it is most direct, most visceral and most accessible. It doesn't seek to do what Jazz does.

Sure, any assessment of what ranks as the greatest or the worst is a subjective matter. But it is sheer ignorance to disregard the cultural significance of the Beatles. Along with Dylan, they pioneered the idea that a rock artist should write their own material, instead of being reliant on staff writers and cover versions. Also along with Dylan they opened up the popular song to greater possibilities and paved the way for bands like Love, The Zombies and many others to take rock music further.

Sociologically, they spearheaded the emergence of a confident working class youth movement. Unlike previous pop acts who were the hostages of light entertainment, their appearance and voices clipped back to appeal to a an imaginary classless mainstream, the Beatles didn't hide their accents or roots. They were clever working class lads and weren't ashamed of it. John Lennon, in particular, redefined the scope of what a pop/rock star should be: he didn't shy away from controversial statements and sometimes spoke out against power. Again, only Dylan is comparable at this time.

The main thing about the Beatles, that sets them apart from their contemporaries, is that you can tell the musical story of the Sixties with their records, because they assimilated everything around them. I don't think there's another band like that.

I dunno if you read the entire article because that isn't the thrust of it at all.
